Bio
Hi there! I’m drum teacher John Hildebrand, Principal Instructor at Drumroll. I’ve been teaching drums in Vancouver, North Vancouver and Burnaby BC for over 25 years. In that time I’ve developed a friendly, supportive and encouraging approach to teaching drums that respects every students individual learning style and musical interests. In every lesson I’m constantly drawing on my experience, knowledge and passion as a drum teacher to give each student the best experience I can.
If you’re looking for drum lessons in Vancouver, North Vancouver or Burnaby BC, you’ve come to the right place. John Hildebrand is dedicated to providing quality drum lessons for ages 9 and up in greater Vancouver. As a drum teacher with over 25 years experience teaching drums and extensive formal percussion training, John offers a supportive, friendly and versatile approach to learning drums to suit each student’s musical interests and goals. Learn correct technique, to read sheet music and to count and subdivide. Learn to play your favourite songs and discover the many styles of drumming from around the world.
Drum lessons with John are a fun and challenging adventure in rhythm and music. He will have you exploring rhythmic possibilities at the drums from the very beginning. This exploration of the drums will broaden as we apply progressive steps to gain full control and coordination of your limbs. Applying what you’ve learned to songs for play along goes together with this exploration and development.
Teaching Info
There are many directions that drum lessons can take. First and foremost I want your lessons to be a fun and challenging exploration of rhythm and music. For this reason as I teach drums I always accommodate for my students natural musical curiosities, interests and abilities. Within this context I shape our drum lessons with three main objectives: Technical development, stylistic development, and the ability to analyze music both through musical notation and the learn-by-ear approach.
Stylistic development begins with easily accessible rock and pop songs and progresses to more demanding ones. In this way I am able to lead my students through varying styles and the technical demands required. While the musical tastes of my students is always a consideration when choosing songs, I encourage a spirit of musical exploration. Exploring other styles of music such as Funk, R&B, Soul, Jazz, Hip-Hop, African and Latin is all a part of becoming a well rounded drummer! Also, in the process you’re very likely to discover inspiring and exciting music that motivates and energizes!
Drum Lesson Rates and Lengths
I offer different drum lesson lengths to suit most everyones needs. An hour is recommended as it provides enough time to solidify existing concepts and to present new ones. 90 minutes allows extra time to reinforce your practice routine, expand on concepts and work on your drum parts for any songs you are working on. Sharing a time spot with another student is an available option.
